Kaffir Lime & Coconut Margarita

It’s not everyday you open the box left on your doorstep and find a margarita inside. I mean, I didn’t exactly find a margarita inside of my Primo Picks Package (say that 5 times fast!), but I did find a bottle of Central Market Organic Kaffir Lime & Coconut Italian Soda.

It wasn’t perfect – I still had to add tequila after all. But it made the most refreshing, sparkling margarita. Perfect for that mid-afternoon I-just-sent-my-kid-to-grandma’s-for-a-3-day-weekend-and-now-I’m-going-to-sit-on-the-floor-and-watch-10-Things-I-Hate-About-You-in-complete-silence margarita. (RIP Patrick Verona.)

This margarita is a 3-day, no-pants-required weekend in a glass.

It’s a swim-up bar at a swanky all-inclusive, served over ice.

It’s a – guys. It’s a margarita. It takes 47 seconds to make and 3 seconds to realize that you should have just doubled the recipe to begin with.

Drink up. And happy 97 degrees!

Notes

This recipe was developed in conjunction with H-E-B and I was provided ingredients as well as compensated for my time. Messy fingers, stretchy-waisted pants, and Queen-Elsa-dress-glitter -covered wood floors are all mine. You can find H-E-B on Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest. And if you’re as lucky as we are, 4 locations within a 5 mile radius.
